Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Holiday sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. - Fold in Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in both the white chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. - Form Cookies:
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Decorate the cookies with holiday sprinkles, if desired. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Chilling the Dough: If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Optional Add-ins: You can add chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for an extra crunch if desired.
